The No-Hiding Peel
In that famous Sex & the City scene, Samantha Jones braves Carrie’s book launch party with a black veil over a post-peel face. Luckily, for those of us who don’t (yet) have that kind of courage, there are other ways to get the rejuvenation of a chemical peel. One of these methods is the ever-so-gentle PRX Derm Perfexion Reverse Peel.
This is the peel you get when you don’t have the time to hide away from the sun at home! Shot Bar’s PRX peel in Lincoln Park is a medical-grade, biorevitalization treatment that’s noninvasive and requires no downtime. You’ll be able to go to all your friends’ parties sans-veil!
Why We Love It
No-Peel Peel
This treatment doesn’t exfoliate the top layer of skin but, instead, stimulates cell regeneration in the second layer.
For Everyone
It’s safe and effective for all types of skin, and there are benefits for anyone with acne, scars, discoloration, or wrinkles.
All-Season
The PRX Derm Perfexion doesn’t cause photo-sensitivity, so it can be done at any time during the year!
For the Science Babes
The PRX Derm Perfexion Reverse Peel eliminates the negative aftereffects associated with most chemical peels. It penetrates the deep tissue layers of skin (the dermis), treating your skin from the inside out. PRX’s chemical formula leaves your outer skin (the epidermis) intact—so there’s no actual peeling.
The treatment contains trichloroacetic acid (which stimulates cell growth and kills bacteria), kojic acid (which reduces melanin production and brightens skin), and hydrogen peroxide (which cleanses the skin and makes it more receptive to treatment).
The Play-by-Play
The PRX Derm Perfexion Process
Step 1
Consultation & Prep
We want to get to know you, so your first step at Shot Bar is an in-person or remote consultation! We’ll chat about your health, skin, and wellness history. Once we factor in your goals and skin type, we’ll get you scheduled. For your appointment, we ask that you avoid using products that may interact with the peel.
Step 2
Treatment
Treatments are usually about 30 minutes and consist of two product applications massaged deeply into the skin. You might feel some tingling during the treatment. We follow with a nourishing moisturizer. For most of our patients, we usually recommend a series of four treatments spaced no more than ten days apart.
Step 3
Aftercare
There’s no downtime, so you can apply your makeup afterward! There may be some mild redness in the treatment area or swelling around the eyes in the days following treatment. This should subside quickly. When you buy a package for our PRX peel in Lincoln Park, we send you home with an included daily skincare regimen.

Questions? We've Got The Answers
PRX is sold individually or in a package of four sessions, but more treatments may be needed to help achieve your skin goals.
Effects of PRX may last up to a year. It’s recommended patients return for follow-up maintenance around 6 to 12 months after their last peel.
Treatments are in four 20 to 30-minute sessions, no more than 10 days apart. You are sent home with a daily skincare regimen that is included with the package fee.
